@oxseo, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
If the fan on your OMEN 16 laptop is not working, it could be due to a hardware fault, BIOS settings, or thermal management issues. Here are some steps to help you troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

Check for Overheating or Fan Blockage

• Ensure the laptop is placed on a hard, flat surface.
• Use compressed air to clean the air vents and fan exhausts.
• Avoid using the laptop on soft surfaces like beds or cushions.

Run HP Hardware Diagnostics

HP provides a built-in tool to test hardware components including the fan:

• Turn off the laptop.
• Press Esc repeatedly while turning it on, then press F2 to open HP PC Hardware Diagnostics.
• Run the System Tests > Component Tests > Fan Test.

You can also download the tool here: HP PC Hardware Diagnostics | HP® Support
 

Update BIOS and Drivers

Outdated BIOS or thermal management drivers can cause fan issues.

• Visit the OMEN 16 Support Page.
• Download and install the latest BIOS, Chipset, and Thermal Framework drivers.

Use HP Support Assistant

HP Support Assistant can automatically detect and fix many issues:

• Download or open it from: HP Support Assistant | HP® Support
• Run the diagnostics and check for fan-related alerts.

Perform a Hard Reset

Sometimes, a simple reset can restore fan functionality:

• Turn off the laptop.
• Unplug the AC adapter.
• Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds.
• Reconnect and power on.

Check BIOS Settings

• Restart your laptop and press F10 to enter BIOS.
• Look for any thermal or fan control settings and ensure they’re enabled.
